== Computation of the mean OH diagnostic ==
 
 
The mean OH diagnostic in GEOS-Chem is computed in <tt>diag_pl_mod.f</tt>. 
 
 
Routine <tt>DO_DIAG_OH</tt> sums up the tropospheric air mass and mass-weighted OH mass after each call to the chemistry solver.  The summing happens in these lines of code:
 
 
 
  ! Sum air mass term into AIR_MASS array
 
  XAIRMASS        = AIRDENS(JLOOP)    * VOLUME(JLOOP)
 
  AIR_MASS(I,J,L) = AIR_MASS(I,J,L)  + XAIRMASS
 
 
  ! Sum OH mass term into OH_MASS array
 
  XOHMASS        = CSPEC(JLOOP,IDOH) * XAIRMASS
 
  OH_MASS(I,J,L)  = OH_MASS(I,J,L)    + XOHMASS
 
 
where the arrays contain the following quantities:
 
 
  JLOOP            = 1-D array index for SMVGEAR
 
  I,J,L            = 3-D array indices
 
  AIRDENS(JLOOP)    = air density [molec/cm3]
 
  VOLUME(JLOOP)    = grid box volume [cm3]
 
  AIR_MASS(I,J,L)  = air mass [molec air]
 
  CSPEC(JLOOP,IDOH) = OH concentration [molec OH/cm3] 
 
  OH_MASS(I,J,L)    = mass-weighted OH = OH mass * air mass [molec OH/cm3 * molec air]
 
 
After the GEOS-Chem simulation finishes, the mean OH value is printed out in subroutines <tt>PRINT_MEAN_OH</tt>:
 
 
  ! Total Mass-weighted OH [molec OH/cm3] * [molec air]
 
  SUM_OHMASS = SUM( OH_MASS )
 
 
  ! Atmospheric air mass [molec air]
 
  SUM_MASS  = SUM( AIR_MASS )
 
         
 
  ! Divide OH [molec OH/cm3 * molec air] by [molec air] and report as [1e5 molec/cm3]
 
  OHCONC = ( SUM_OHMASS / SUM_MASS ) / 1d5
 
 
  ! Write value to log file
 
  WRITE( 6, '(/,a)' ) REPEAT( '=', 79 )
 
  WRITE( 6, *      ) 'ND23: Mass-Weighted OH Concentration'
 
  WRITE( 6, *      ) 'Mean OH = ', OHCONC, ' [1e5 molec/cm3]'
 
  WRITE( 6, '(  a)' ) REPEAT( '=', 79 )
 
       
 
Typical values vary between 10<sup>5</sup> - 11<sup>5</sup> molec/cm3.

Latest revision as of 14:54, 18 October 2023

On this page we track the evolution of the mean OH concentration in GEOS-Chem. This value is an indicator of how "hot" the chemistry is. Please also see the related topic about the methyl chloroform lifetime in GEOS-Chem.

Evolution of mean OH in GEOS-Chem

Plot of mean OH evolution

Here is a plot of the mean OH concentration from GEOS-Chem 1-year benchmark simulations. The mean OH is an indicator how the chemistry mechanism is performing. Typical values are 10–12 x 105 molecules cm-1.
